Hi,

We are on our 6th cycle TTC for the first time. I have started temping this month however I am confused by my chart.

I had a peak LH on CD 15 followed by temp drop CD16 and consecutive elevated temps after however app has calculated ovulation CD13. I have attached my chart, can i please have opinions?

Thank you x

@Lavagurl ahhh I've been to NZ a few times and love it. Want to move there. ❤️

[quote Lavagurl]@BrodieKD Thanks, had an amazing day! My fav picture of the day haha.

So I had plain circle on clearblue ovulation test on Thursday and then it went straight to static smiley on Friday. Not sure why I missed the flashing smiley. First month I had 2 flashing days, second month only 1 flashing and now none lol.

Now we wait, Ovia app says 11 days until pregnancy test.[/quote]
Congats!! Xx

@Nattie33xx

No look last cycle so hoping 3rd time lucky 🙏 I use flo too! Going to try preseed and hopefully dtd actually on ovulation day instead of days before as I've missed it first 2 cycles. Good luck everyone x
It would be good if we could set up this kind of chat on Flo but there's no option to do so Sad unless we went on the same thread and hijacked it haha

@BrodieKD Aw, we had someone bring the dogs to the park for a few pictures and then take them to the kennels. They wouldn't cope if they went to the actual wedding.

Lavagurl · 28/03/2021 08:50

@gigchic I live in New Zealand Smile
Border collies are fantastic!

gigchic · 28/03/2021 08:46

@Lavagurl ah your dress looks lovely. We have two border collies too! ❤️. Yours is an amazing colour. Where is the world are you? Your trees have leaves on.... I'm so excited spring is slowly arriving in the UK now... and we're coming out of lockdown slowly.

BrodieKD · 28/03/2021 08:43

@Lavagurl that's exactly what I've been looking for. Stunning! Great that you've got some photos back so quickly too. I'd love to have my dog at our wedding but he would end up making the day about 100 times more stressful. He isn't very good with things that are out of the ordinary. Yesterday he was barking at a mini greenhouse that I put up in my kitchen and running away like it was going to bite his bum😂

Lavagurl · 28/03/2021 08:01

@BrodieKD I don't know the terminology but it was long and sparkly.

I can't do bbt as I work shift work so wouldn't be able to test at the same time. I also suck at noticing symptoms so I wouldn't have a clue if I was ovulating, just hoping that since I get a static that I am

Glad to hear everyone is getting on ok and feeling pretty relaxed.

@gigchic hopefully your cycle settles down. Wine goes hand in hand with af.

@Lavagurl awww look at them! I'm so glad you had such a good day. Your dress looks so pretty. What kind of veil did you have? I still need to order mine and I fancy a cathedral but I am not sure if it'll just annoy me when people stand on it. That happened to me last month with the smilies. Circles then just a static. Then this month I had 5 flashing smilies and then ran out. I've also tried taking my bbt this morning and using the Femometer app and the analysis basically tells me to be better at taking my temperature 😂 so who knows what will happen this month.

Yes I'm more relaxed this month - it helps that I'm not sure if last months drama has effected ovulation this month so I'd be surprised if I ovulated. My BBT did the normal jump it does after ovulation but I'm just looking forward to the fact that if my period comes I can have a glass of wine! 😂

Nattie33xx · 27/03/2021 08:55

@BrodieKD Feeling abit more relaxed aswell this month. 😌 trying not to over think this time xx

BrodieKD · 27/03/2021 08:43

@Lavagurl happy wedding day!! Hope you have a fab day!!

BrodieKD · 27/03/2021 08:43

That's me on cd20 and 3dpo. I feel totally relaxed this month. How is everyone else feeling?

xoJellyBean · 24/03/2021 22:24

Hey ladies.. also trying for baby #1 ✨🤞🏻

Lavagurl · 24/03/2021 21:00

I'm on cd10, blank circle on my clearblue opk today. Our plan is to dtd every day from now (tho might have to miss tomorrow since we have my partners sister staying) and then on the days I get positive opk we are going to try fertility lube.
I get married on Saturday so hopefully we're not too tired after!

Poppypop87 · 24/03/2021 20:49

Hi all, please can I join you?

I am currently 2dpo in cycle 1 of ttc #1. We wanted the start of ttc to be exciting so just trying to go with the flow for the first few months (not sure how long I will feel this chilled about it though!) Nice to find others in the same boat Smile

gigchic · 24/03/2021 14:48

I started using premom OPK and app (Amazon) this month after my cycle got so messed up last month and I've ovulated really late for a normal cycle so I think this cycle will be long again- or I'll have a very short luteal phase. But I'm 2DPO now so here goes the waiting game again!!! 😂😫🤯. I'm a lot more chilled now having gone through what I went through last month with it being month 1 of TCC#1! Month 2 is not gona be as stressful I've told my self!

Also is anyone else wondering how they are going to muster up the potential patience needed for this conceiving thing?! 😂
